I love haute couture (but somehow doubt I've spelled it correctly). I have no problem with the "clothes" being impractical - they're just mobile textile artworks, usually contructed with enormous skill.
I remember watching a series about designers and one of them was accused of creating "costumes" not "fashion". It was the silliest semantic argument, considering how outrageous *everything* was.
